Peace, community and work

Long time I wanted to write but-had no time and too stress with the situation back home.How do I manage?I will start with the good parts:1. I improved editing my video and uploded to youtube in few days about 300 were watching -many visited my website (more than 100 a day) and few orders- Yahh.2. after 6 month I can say I starter retained fire fighter course and will continue the course for 3 weeks and weekends next Monday. I never liked uniform but thought it is a good way to help and be paid.It is a great way If you work local.3. I applied for a part time job that I really want to do - so keep fingers for me.Not sure If I am happy to say that I was in (Gazza 1994) during Army service.But I was happy to see what is realy happening there not just on T.V.Before I must Say that I got nothing against Arabs or muslems - I love there food and can enjoy big part of there culture - I worked with few and shared my drink and food during Lunch time.Now back to Gazza -I feel ever so sorry for All the people that hurt in Gazza and in Israel.Sorry phill if it is going to be political - but it very important so please read it all.Gazza Got amazing cost lovely sea with lots of bustan gardens - that is a tradition mix of fruit and herbs gardens. But more than that It is a very very poor country with generation of hate - lots of that is coming from extreme organizations from Iran.Sadly there are many of these extreme Islam groups that hate Israel and supply weapon to be used against Israel and will ask these poor people in gazza to fight against Israel but they are not supporting with education, work or money for food.with the years both sides lost many people time and money. I lost some of my freinds in my army service (i got to the stage that I could not bear it). But it never gave me any hate. Infact I remember that I was always told as a child that when I will get to the age 18 Will be no army because will be peace. Israel gave lots with the years to try and make peace (Land Back, money weapon and more)Why does Israel get there? It is few years that rokets are bombed in Israel as it is daily- no one care.but it became worth .In space about half the country these days. (included where we used to live)The situation In Gazza Is extremly bad. people cannot have a vision of peace- economy may flourish -Ireland made it and they can.Few years ago When Israelies left their farms around gazza after 20 years to be able to make peace .there was lots of money to develop industrial area airport on the border and their life could be far better but so much hate is coming from these organization.what can you do when israel send 80 tracks of food and as soon as they pass the border the hamass take it and sell it for the people that got the money.I think the only way to sort the situation is if the western world will give big hug to the extreme Islam, and try to change it.It worked a bit before. peace with yaser arafat 1994. but to stop it for good the world should invest and try to heal this place. I am sure church should see it this way.God bless them All

"Personally I think it's gardeners time to cash in we've been cheap for to long and now that people are lazy we have the pick. I've got 9 big jobs on a waiting list for when I have a gap.not to mention all the small gardens I'm at £35hr now and…"

"I bought a no name petrol blower on eBay for £30 as temporary fix. I expected it to last 6 months but 2 years later it's still going strong. It's a copy of the Stihl Bg 56. You don't always get what you pay for. "

"Hat's off to you for persevering with them Graham. Surely one of the best aspects of British life is blokes patiently and skillfully fixing things in the shed. Sounds a nightmare product to me, whether it was a blower or something else, I wouldn't…"

Hi Ofer, many thanks for offering an insight into life in Gaza and Israel. When you see what has been happening you wonder if peace will ever be enjoyed by the people, or if bitterness is just being stored up in future generations.
All the best, Craig

Vision and hope- that the only thing that can change it.
You helped me when I felt lost.
The people in Gazza getting ideas from people that want it to continue.
People behave bad as that is what they been taught, not just in Gazza Even here.
And to be able to change it We have to help and teach and show- not just for them for the future of next generations.
have a shiny day
